I think there definitely is effort on the Bangladesh side to resolve issues and mutual distrust given the current state of affairs between both countries, but one cannot say the same exists from the Indian side.

Their govt. leaning media (which is 95% of total) is intent on untruths, lies and harsh uncouth accusations (without fact-checking I might add) which is unprecedented. One only has to watch some of their virulent media hosts to see what I am talking about. Their efforts at whipping up the fervor of Bangladesh-hate is rather successful.

In short one can say (per Mahmudur Rahman, one of my well-spoken level-headed journalists and role models from Bangladesh), that the ouster of Hasina was seen as the biggest failure of Indian foreign policy in fifty or so years. This was hard for Indians (especially BJP supremos) to accept.

Instead of accepting reality and questioning BJP on why this happened and how it stands, Indian politicians in general have been intent on,
a) threats of invading Bangladesh, and also
b) threats of lopping off Bangladesh territory to create Hindu majority countries, based on flimsy pretexts of Hindu oppression in Bangladesh (playing "Hindu" card).

We know where these threats will go, which is nowhere.

What has happened has happened and Indians must accept the failure of their foreign policy. One cannot reverse this now.

I'd ask Indian politicians of major political parties to consider what is practical and feasible for the future and where mutual prosperity lies in the relation of both countries.

This is what we should focus on, instead of blind hate and baseless accusations coming from India.

Hindus are reduced to 7% from around 30%. Their temple are being burnt, their women are raped, and you say that it is false. You yourself said earlier that Now Chanting of Jai Shri Ram shall be banned in BD. Here, you are lying to mislead the people by saying that Hindus are BD citizens, and all these stories of Hindu Atrocities are fake.

Taqiya
 
YEs, but Takia is also used in some places. Taqiyya is also used.

Only, in their case, sadly for them, its going to be permanent Taqiya.

Coz they can keep dreaming about tiding over a weak phase till they are less vulnerable.

We literally have our foot on their collective neck.

And they know it. Hence the squirming about how peaceful and secular they truly are.

Foreign Adviser Md Touhid Hossain today said Bangladesh wants to see a "normal and friendly" relationship protecting mutual interests with India.

He also said he sees West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's remarks on Bangladesh "as usual that goes with her persona".

Mamata on Sunday urged the central government of India to seek the deployment of UN peacekeeping forces in Bangladesh amid alleged attacks on Hindus, according to the Indian media.

While responding to a question at a media briefing, Adviser Touhid said politicians often make such remarks on various topics, but it was not a "right move" for Mamata. "I would like to see this as Mamata-like remarks. I don't understand why she has made such remarks."

Earlier, the adviser briefed the foreign diplomats stationed in Dhaka at state guest house Padma about the allegations of attacks on religious minorities. He explained the government's position and described the situation on the grounds.

"We are not saying that there are no such incidents of attacks on minorities, but those are isolated and happen more or less during all regimes," Touhid said.

The government conveyed to the diplomats that religious harmony is part of the society and the government is firmly determined to maintain it.

But a section of the media, especially in India, is engaged in propaganda on the issue, the adviser said. He said there are efforts domestically and globally to give an impression that the country is heading towards a deteriorated situation.

"We should not forget that there is a global campaign (against the government) by a certain group," he said, adding that the government will handle it with an iron hand if anyone tries to create chaos in the country.

Responding to a question, he said they did not say anything specific about India, but the media reports came up. A representative of the Indian High Commission in Dhaka was also present at the briefing.

Responding to a question, Touhid said they shared with the diplomats under what circumstances former ISKCON leader Chandan Kumar Dhar, alias Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, was arrested. He is now in jail.

He said the government will not allow any communal violence in the country and it sees all its citizens equally.

"We did not say that there is no problem in the country. There are issues, and we're trying to fix them," the adviser said, adding that they have successfully addressed issues in many areas.

Touhid acknowledged that there has been a change in the dynamics of bilateral relations with India since the August 5 political changeover.

Asked whether the scheduled Foreign Office Consultations (FOC) with India will be held this month, he said, "I think so."​

Educated Hindus get better opportunities in India (or other countries) and there is no stopping them from leaving for India if they wish. This will continue. That is exactly the reason. No one is torturing them.

This is not a fault of the Bangladeshi Govt. or the majority Muslims that Hindus leave of their own free will,

There may be some stray incidents of Hindu homes being attacked after Aug 5 revolution and regime change (mainly by AL people to create bad blood and blame the uprising folks), but they are all connected to political animosity (if that), not religion. Muslim AL people were attacked en masse, now only if they're Hindu it becomes a big deal.

Hindu homes were also burnt during AL rule - but there was no peep heard from India at that time. Kind of suspicious - one would think.

Keep on daydreaming. :D

That is a good statement but let us see whether that reflects into their behavior. If oppression of Hindus does not stop, what he says is just a lip service.

They are worse than even Arab Muslims. We have seen this since 1947 and even before that. We saw that in Kashmir as well.

We have all the power but our P. M. Is a Hi**da. Today, we miss some leader like Indira Gandhi. Today, all remember Indira Gandhi while our Co**rd P. M. Sees Hindus being butchered by these radicals with world's 4th Largest Army. Leadership is very important.
 
Arabs have always been historically through the ages quite sweet with Indian civilization.

They only come to loot. Not impose.

That they did elsewhere.

Yes, but our C grade Arabs are in race to associate their identity with Arabs and wants to do more than what Arabs do. If they will become strong, they will destroy all temples and do lot more oppression than what Arabs, Afghans or Mongols did.
